Solar Eagle II

The Solar Eagle II is a world class, solar-powered electric
race car designed and built by an outstanding team of Cal State L.A. students,
faculty and staff.

In June of 1993, the Solar Eagle II finished third in the 1,100 mile Sunrayce
'93 -- a cross-country race from Arlington, Texas to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The Solar Eagle II started the race in the pole position having qualified
with the fastest time. Solar Eagle II finished ahead of 30 other universities,
including such prestigious institutions as Stanford, George Washington University
and UC Berkeley. The car and team were honored with a second place award
in Technical Innovation for Chassis Design, Propulsion and Aerodynamic Systems
by the Sunrayce '93 judges. They also received a third place award from
the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for Design Excellence in Engineering
Safety.

In November, 1993, the Solar Eagle II gained international recognition by
coming in 13th out in field of 54, and became the fourth U.S. team to cross
the finish line at the 1993 World Solar Challenge, a grueling 1,882 mile
race across the Australian outback.
